The Social Fund named the size of the average pension in Moscow

The average pension in Moscow as of October 2026 was 27,309 rubles. This is reported by TASS with reference to data from the Social Fund of Russia.

Over the past 12 months, the average amount of payments to pensioners in the capital has increased by 2.2 thousand rubles: in October 2025, this figure was at the level of 25,085 rubles. The dynamics of the growth of payments in the capital reflects the general trends in pension provision, while Moscow's indicators traditionally remain among the highest in the country.

The Ministry of Finance has proposed to automatically include funds in the program

In 2027, insurance pensions in Russia are planned to be increased twice. The total increase in payments for the year should be 10.3%, Svetlana Bessarab, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, told RIA Novosti. In monetary terms, this is equivalent to an average increase of 2.6 thousand rubles. An important feature of the upcoming changes will be that the indexation of insurance pensions in 2027 will affect both unemployed and working citizens.

The first stage of indexing is scheduled for February 1. The fixed payment and individual pension coefficients (IPCs) will be increased by 6.8%, which corresponds to the projected value of inflation by the end of 2026. The second stage is scheduled for April 1. The CPI will grow by another 3.3%, taking into account the growth rate of the Social Fund's income and wage dynamics in the country. The final February indexation coefficient will be determined later, based on actual inflation data for 2026.

According to budget projections provided by Finuslugi, the average size of an old-age insurance pension in Russia as a whole may reach 29,904 rubles by the end of 2027. For comparison, in 2026, this nationwide figure was about 25,469 rubles. Thus, the planned increase will significantly reduce the gap between the average payments in the regions and the capital, although Moscow pensions continue to show rapid growth.
